The classes they teach

From the reviews
I love coming to this studio! I started about a month ago, mostly on Saturdays. The instructors are so patient, friendly, and down to Earth! I feel like I'm hanging out with my friends! LOL. The prices are fair, and the owner does promo deals often.
I love coming to this studio! It’s the best place in town to learn dancing, with such friendly and welcoming people. I’ve learned so much these past few months, and the confidence you leave with after every class is amazing. The instructors are patient, supportive, and really help you grow.
I couldn't say enough good things about this studio! I have worked with four different instructors now and they have each been incredible. They are all, genuinely, so friendly and supportive, and all teach slightly differently which is really helpful when something maybe just doesn't click the first time.
I’ve been through a few studios in the Hampton Roads area since moving here. I had to leave other studios due to harassment issues that took a toll on my mental health. I came to this studio to continue my pole journey as I healed. Each time I’m here, I’m welcomed, supported, encouraged, and feel like I belong.
Bachelorette & private parties at Mind Body & Pole
Mind Body & Pole comes up for private parties — confirmed on their own site. A pole party is one of the most-booked ways to celebrate a bachelorette, birthday, or girls' night, and it's a blast even if nobody in the group has ever touched a pole. A few things worth asking when you reach out. First, group size and what's included — most studios run private parties for around 6–15 people with a dedicated instructor, a beginner-friendly routine, and time for photos. Second, the vibe you want — sassy heels-and-flow choreography, playful spins and tricks, or a mix; a good studio tailors it to the guest of honor. Third, booking and pricing — parties are usually a flat package booked in advance, and popular weekend slots fill up fast, so ask about deposits and what to wear (shorts for grip, no lotion). It's beginner-friendly by design, judgment-free, and genuinely fun — exactly the kind of thing everyone talks about afterward.
Your first pole class at Mind Body & Pole
Nervous about your first pole class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects total beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. You don't need to be strong, flexible, or thin to start — pole builds all of that, and your first class is about learning to spin, walk the pole, and hold on, not inverting on day one. What to expect: a warm-up, some conditioning, and a few basic spins or a short combo — it's a real full-body workout, so expect to sweat and to feel it in your arms and core the next day. Rest whenever you need to; no one is watching or judging. What to wear: shorts and a tank or sports bra — bare skin on your arms, legs, and stomach is what grips the pole, so save the leggings for aerial or floorwork. Skip the lotion the day of class; it makes the pole slippery. Grip aids: provided here — a little Dry Hands or iTac helps you stick, and knee pads make floorwork comfy. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people leave their first class already planning the next one.
